weekly invoicing for me. I'll send the invoice off tomorrow afternoon and payment will be in the account by Monday.

[Mich the Tester]

That'l learn him.

I'm sure he loves you, insisting on thorough testing of all possible scenarios and then some, while you get paid more the longer the project runs

You should invite him out for a beer and talk to him about the benefits of fixed price offers.

You should see his face when everyone else sods off to the pub at 5 o'clock. Priceless.

November or December timesheets?

November surely.

Or you must be Treaded.

There's a project manager here who's signed a fixed price contract. Idiot. One man business signs fixed price contract with huge multinational, now he's working 16 hour days getting stressed out, pissing everybody off, failing to deliver and losing money while he's at it. Serves him right, stupid coont.

Hourly. If on daily I would not care about hours - as long as I did not to any days more than 8.

Oh I'm much lazier than that; no point working more than 170 as a big chunk of my income's taxed at 52%. Socialism, you see.

I see your point - but my payments - or flow of funds as I call it - go through a series of exotic off- shore PLCs in every continent of the world, sometimes splitting up sometimes aggregating back together in a way that leaves me with a fraction more than 48%.

By the way - that is a lie.

[ThomasSoerensen]

You on an hourly or daily rate though?

And would you look at that, mine has been approved by clientco already.

Not a record breaking month though. Falls into the "210 - 220 hours" category. Ah but I had four days off, that explains the slacker number of hours.

Invoice done. Contacturally they state they will pay in 15 days. It doesn't say 15 working days but I guess that's implied. They'll still keep me waiting to the 20th for my money even though my invoice terms are 7 days.

I was lucky at my last gig it was submit on a monday, bacs on wednesday, cash on Friday, looks like I am 30 days on this gig though

Mine was done and dusted yesterday.

Job for tomorrow for me, client has approved, just need to get the invoice in before end of business tomorrow to be paid in a weeks time.

Let's just hope that when we get our Euros they're still worth something and the banks haven't gone bust. Particularly that bank where norrahe's been working (disclaimer; no reflection on the professional qualities of norrahe, more a reflection on the bunch of turdwits running the place).
